Shoei GT-Air Journey Helmet Videos

Enjoying the ride is what motorcycling is all about and having a helmet that is comfortable and safe is just facilitates that enjoyment. The Shoei GT-Air has been designed from the ground up to be the ultimate all-rounder. With a fully adjustable ventilation system, drop-down internal sun visor, fog-free Pinlock CNS-1 face shield and Shoei’s legendary comfort and quality, the GT-Air has all of the features you need to keep your focus on the road instead of on the discomforts a lesser helmet can cause.

The Shoei GT-Air was developed using wind-tunnel testing at Shoei’s state-of-the-art facility in Japan which lead to an aerodynamically tuned tri-composite shell that mitigates buffeting, as well as wind and road noise. The plush removable liner is comfortable, quiet and removable when you need to wash it. Light, safe and comfortable, the Shoei GT-Air meets and exceeds the needs of contemporary riders, allowing them to enjoy what they love most…the ride.

Aerodynamic Shell Design:

Aerodynamic properties are maximized through extensive wind tunnel testing and professional riders’ feedback

Multi-Piece EPS liner enhances impact absorption and ventilation

Three shell and four EPS liner sizes provide increased fit options that help to comfortably fit most head sizes

Molded air spoiler reduces drag and lift, as well as diminishes pressure on the rider’s neck while riding at speed

E.Q.R.S. (Emergency Quick-Release System) allows emergency medical personnel to easily remove the cheek pads from the helmet of a rider involved in an accident, in turn making the Shoei GT-Air more easily removable

Standard Chin-Strap Clip:

Neatly secures chin strap

CNS-1 Shield System:

The CNS-1, three-dimensionally curved shield is both wider and taller than the CX-1V it replaces

Great helmet for touring!
I want to be fare with this helmet, it's in the name so you need to know that it's designed for Touring, not street helmet.
I used it in summer days in the street and the vents feel useless. I thougth that the "air" part of the name was a joke. But when you hit the road, there is where you get the best of it. Decent noise level, very good air flow, sunvisor is fantastic feature, and fits my Senna bluetooth headset perfectly.
Very comfortable after several hours of ridding, so if sport touring or long distances on the road is your need, this is perfect for you.

Love the drop down tinted shield. Great for daytime & evening riding.
The GT-Air fits great with no hot spots. Light & comfortable. The drop down tinted shield is the real deal. No need to carry extra sheild, or take the time to stop and change shield for night time riding. I have purchased my second GT-Air for my passenger.

Good lid, but flawed
I found this helmet to be a little...not worth the money. it flows great, vision is great, but the comfort level needs to be tweaked. If im paying 500$ for a helmet, I expect it to be lined with something besides that scratchy stuff. The overall fit didn't jive with me, and that's just me, but one thing that drove me NUTS was the pockets for the blutooth speakers. there were little to no insterts, so if you wanted to wear headphones, there was this void by your ears. I cant count how many times Ive had to take my helmet off on the side of the road to readjust my headphones after they got loose. with a blutooth set, its great im sure, but the last thing I want when im riding is to be bothered on the phone. My previous helmets were tight enough around my entire head, and in all the right places, to where the helmet would keep my earbuds in. personally, I just don't like this helmet. not a fan at all. Its too much for too little.
July 29, 2015

oxymoron
I've owned the helmet for 2 years now. The name "air" is really should be "no air". Therefore, out of the 4 helmets that I owned, this is the most quiet. I've played several times with the vent system to see if I was misusing the adjustment levels but, unfortunately, this helmet gets no ventilation, period. I purchased the helmet with the intention to use it in Hawaii. I should have read more reviews before doing so. Compared to my two Arai and RF110 helmets, this one I use the most in the winter. Great bulky feel of protection and warmth. Summertime, forget about it!

Get this helmet
I love this lid. Lots of vents, interior sunshield, included Pinlock Lens (not installed), Emergency Cheekpad release, and it comes in bright yellow. All these features and it's comfortable and quiet. The top vents move air like I don't believe, over 60 mph I have to go 1/2 open on the intake to avoid being too cool. I bought this helmet and wore it around town for a week before I took a 1500 mile tour around western Montana. This helmet saw wind, thunderstorms, hail, 90+ degrees, and about a billion dead bugs. I'm so glad I spent the money on a premium brand. It looked expensive sitting in my shopping cart, but you definitely get what you pay for. My previous helmet was an HJC AC-12 so I thought helmets were just helmets, but not this one. The fit is perfect, I measured at about 24" and got the XL and it is packing out quite nicely. I'm of Northern European descent and found the shape of the helmet to be excellent, no front pressure like I found on HJC's and the Arai RX-Q.
The only bummer is it doens't have SNELL rating because of the sunshield. For me this was an acceptable trade off because I don't go to track days, and the flexibility achieved by being able to quickly flip up and down a tinted lens behind a clear shield is and was invaluable to me. No more messing about with sunglasses inside my helmet, just a flip of a switch if I'm ever in heavy trees, behind a mountain, in a tunnel, etc. If you want SNELL and aren't sure you want a sunshield then save ~$70 and get the RF1200.

exceptional quality
Before I buy helmet on revzilla I prefer to try it on in a local shop, there are not many helmet shops around here so I didn't have too much choices. I wanted to have a helmet with internal sun visor and with space around my ears for the communication device. First I ordered a Shark Evoline but the medium is too small, the large is too large I would say it never fits for long oval head shape that I have. So I decided to buy the GT Air. A little bit pricey but you get an exceptional quality product for your money. If you can't afford it you definitely can find a very good products around $400, for example Shark Vision-R like my previous helmet. GT Air is far superior in material quality and features. I expected it will be a little bit quieter but its not bad at all. Airflow is very good, I can feel the “wind” at top of my head. It's light and comfortable. The vision is a little bit narrow for me as I had a Shark Vison-R, however I would say its average. Performance of cost is average because its pricey. If you can/want pay $600+ for a helmet, you should choose this one.

It has my ok!
Colorado here, i have used this helmet in cold and hot weather, lucky for me the helmet comes with the pinlock visor or else it does fog up but other than that the visor does its job in both weathers, hottest day i have ridden was 97 degrees while the coldest was 33 and felt like 15 while riding.
July 13, 2015

Nice features
I like the way it fits but Shoei seems to fit my head. Features make the helmet. No fogging issues with the pinlock visor and the sunshield works great and fits over glasses easily. Its fairly quiet and the venting seems to circulate enough air to keep me cool. Nice wide field of view and very little wind buffeting. All in all a good helmet and worth the price.

Andrey S: I saw a lot of reviews, tried different brands and models, this helmet is quiet, has a good shape for my head, build-in sun protection, removable parts and it's should be a good quality and best protection on the market!Feb 11, 2015

Norman P: It had the best ventilation ratings that I found and it fit my melon the best.Aug 25, 2013

Robert C. M: Loved the styling and the videos from Anthony were the final deciding factor. I would take a trip to Philly just so I could check out the store and shake your guys hands. You rock! Thanks, RobertAug 22, 2013

A s: I wanted an upgrade from my HJC and wanted an integrated sun visor. This helmet feels great, very quiet and much more stable on the highway. I would really like to see Shoei reduce the prices a little to make these helmets more available but it is what it is.Aug 19, 2013

A shopper asked:hello, i have a gen 2 busa i commute,top out, and drive the heck out of it ocassionally and i currently have a hjc fg 17. I am looking at getting another helmet i was thinking about this one because it has a sun shield and i heard on the video its good for different types for riding positions. However, i was wondering is it quiet? i would like a quieter helmet this time if not this one then can you recommend one?i also love the graphics on this journey. thank youAug 13, 2013

David L:I have not used an HJC helmet for years, but I know that both my shoeis are quieter than any of my HJCs ever were. I used an X-11 and now have a GT-air. I liked the air flow better in the X-11, but the GT-air is a quiet helmet. I wear earplugs for anything more than a ten minute ride, but I have not been disappointed with it in any way. The way the neck roll and chin curtain are designed really help with wind noise. The sun shield is great, and the helmet feels very stable in the upright or 3/4 position. I don't get into a tuck much anymore since my V-max is not really set up for chin-on-tank riding. I feel that the GT-air will be very nice tucked in, though. There are spots I can get into on my bike where it's so quiet it feels like I'm in space. Sorry for rambling. If you've got the cash, go for the Shoei. I think the only thing quieter right now might be a Schuberth.Aug 13, 2013

Jesus R:This is a relatively quiet helmet, but like all, depends on a lot of factors.

I have three helmet references: A mid range HJC, a Shoei RF1000, and this one. From those, I find this one to be the best. I find that it is quieter if the bike doesn't have a fairing that puts the wake on your face/head. My '07 Ducati Monster does, and it's noisier than riding the Diavel, which doesn't have a one.

I think the helmet is great. The shield and the pinlock are awesome. Plenty of vents on a hot day, and tight enough when it's cool.

Historically, Shuberth helmets are quiet, but very expensive. Most helmets can be quieted down with a neck ring-type diffuser, but the best and recommended way is to wear ear protection. Get Sure-fire plugs., They're designed to block noise > 80db, so you can still hear while wearing them.

The GT Air Journey can be ridden in the 3/4 position or tuck (sport) position and air flow is great. If you're touring, this helmet may not get as much air flow.

As for quietness, it's definitely quiet. Considering your previous helmet, I believe this will be quieter. To give you an idea, I currently ride a Harley Davidson sportster with aftermarket exhausts which are very loud. Also, I don't have a windshield on my bike. Once I put this helmet on, the exhaust tone decreases by quite a few decibels. With no windshield - wind noise is substantially less. Also, the sun visor works wonder on this helmet.

To give you a comparison - my previous helmet was a Nolan N85.

I hope this helps. P.S. The graphics on this helmet looks even better in person.Aug 14, 2013

Kenneth A:It's definitely quieter than the Shoei RF-1000 I've used in past. And both were during surface street speeds. I can't comment on highway speeds, but I'm sure it'll translate to be quieter then. Good luck. Aug 13, 2013

Joshua B:For the price of the helmet I was expecting it to be a little quieter than it is. So if a quiet helmet is your number one priority, you might want to look at another helmet. Don't get me wrong, I like the helmet. I have the red and black helmet and I think it's one of the best looking helmets I have ever seen. I really like the sun visor. It's like looking through a pair of premium sunglasses. The helmet fits good. The cheek pads were a little tight, so I ordered some thinner cheek pads that fixed the problem. So really my only complaint about the helmet is the it being a little too loud for my liking, but my definition of loud could be different than yours.Aug 13, 2013

Malte S:In my experience the Shoei GT Air is very quiet. More quite than my Schuberth S1 (which when I bought claimed to be extremely quiet). Also is decidedly less noisy that an older HRC I own. I ride a Speed Triple R to give you a reference on riding position. Am very happy with the Shoei! Very stable and calm at higher speeds. Only limitation is limited ventilation on hot days especially when compared to the Schuberth, which I find kind of ironic given the "Air" in the name of the Shoei.Aug 13, 2013

Patrick E:Yes, I am a big fan of this helmet. I ride a 2012 Triumph Thruxton and a 2003 Triumph sprint. I do a lot of miles on both. My previous helmets are the Arai Signet Q and the Shoei Qwest. The Shoei Gt Air Journey is the quietest of them all by some margin. The features are good, fit is solid, the flip down visor is smooth and a nice feature. I would recommend this helmet to anyone who rides long or short distances. Plus, it looks awesome in black and red.
Aug 13, 2013

John L:Yes it is quieter. I have two HJC Helmets (Modular and full face)and purchased them because they were the first to have a good sun screen system. I have had the Shoei GT for about three months and I prefer it over the HJC because it is quiet, better in the rain and the sun screen works well.

FYI: I also have a couple of Nolan's that I use to decorate my garage.

Marcelo F:Hello. I am very satisfied with the gt air. I also own a Shoei Qwest. In comparison with the Qwest the Gt Air is quieter and the size seem a litle more snug. However I use the same size in both models. The sun shield is well designed and works properly. I did not tried the included Pinlock yet. Overally I recommend this helmet. I currently ride a 2012 Yamaha Fazer FZ8.Aug 14, 2013

Walter C:I have an RF1100 and a GT Air Journey. The GT Air is quieter than th RF1100. As far as comparing it to your HJC I could'nt comment. I do know that you'll love this helmet. The internal shield is great and it is very cool with the vents open. And yes the graphics are great as well.Aug 13, 2013

Mahmoud M:This is a great helmet! The visor is amazing and the cut outs for a bluetooth communication system are perfect. I had an Arai RX7 before, i would say they are about the same in terms of quiteness. It is a quite helmet.Aug 15, 2013

Mitch S:The emergency cheekpad removal stickers are applied over the clear coat and -could- be removed without destroying the finish, but are there for a very important reason!

Unless you are removing them to repaint the helmet and intend to reinstall them immediately after, this is an I'll advised and potentially life threatening move, in, what would appear to be, the name of vanity.

These stickers instruct any emergency personnel who might come to your aid (likely when you are unconscious or at least, very dazed), on the removal of your cheekpads from the outside, prior to attempting helmet removal.

This is an important safety feature which could save your neck/life, by minimizing the chance of further spinal injury while struggling to remove a snug-fitting helmet.

Any minor aesthetic benefit from the sticker's removal, is far outweighed by the increased safety afforded by the ability to remove the helmet with minimum torque applied to the rider's neck… safety, ostensibly, being the reason for spending over $600 on a helmet in the first place!

Marcelo F:No, the emergency stickers are not under the clear coat. Anyway after six month of daily use mines are still in it´s place and they do not seem like to come off soon. The SHOEI stickers, indeed are under the the clear coat or maybe are painted. These ones can not come off.Dec 2, 2013

John B:They are just stickers on top of the clear coat on mine. Correction, the emergency stickers are on top, but as would be expected the Shoei I stickers are under the clear coat. I will read the question more carefully before answering in the future.Dec 1, 2013

Jeffery D:If you purchase your helmet in the USA, it is a D-ring. European and Japanese versions and some other countries offer the ratchet system. I think what they mean by the standard chin-strap clip is the little snap on the strap to keep the extra length from flapping about (which is badly located and sometimes a pain to get it to snap.)Dec 2, 2013

Hien T:In Northern America (specifically U.S.), the "Standard Chip-Strap Clip" is a D-ring set up. In Europe, it's usually a micro ratchet set up. This helmet actually has a D-Ring setup, NOT a micro ratchet set up if bought in the US, I'm not sure how it's set up in other parts of the world. Hope this helps.Dec 2, 2013

A shopper asked:Hi. I ride a ducati streetfighter 1098s without any windscreen attached. I plan to get a another helmet mainly for daily commuting use to work (looking for one with internal drop down sun visor as i ride between sunrise and when the sun goes down), occasional weekend twisties, some long distance touring and hitting the track as well occasionally. Pretty much and all round helmet with good airflow (live in really humid +95 degrees climate here), aerodynamic, non-buffeting, stable daily helmet with sun visor for a naked bike. Noise levels control would be a plus too.

Have shortlisted between the Shoei GT Air and the Shark Speed-R. Can't make a decision between the two and need some thoughts or advice, especially from those that have used both, and on a naked bike? Many thanks.Jan 7, 2014

LEONARDO R:I have both, a Shoei GT-air black and red and a Shark Speed R Sauer Black-Green-white. Both of them are a good choices. Shark are more comfortable to use on trail and custom bikes (I have a custom bike vulcan 900 custom) but it also are weak on aerodynamics... my head shake a little going over 130 km/h surpassing trucks... on shoei gt-air this does not happen. Shark have a better airflow... shoei have a better noise level control... between shark speed r and shoei gt-air... i recommend shoei x spirit 2... has a better airflow, aerodinamics, noise control.... only problem no sun shield...Feb 6, 2014

Vic H:I know nothing about the Shark, but I came from a Shoei Hornet. When I sold my 990 with a windscreen, I got a 690 without a windscreen and then got the GT Journey. I'm so glad I did, far and above a better helmen than the Hornet. And just slices thru the air at speeds. And the flip down visor, after riding with one, you will not be without one again.

Marcelo F:Never tried Shark Speed-R, so I can not help you. I own a Shoei gt air since june and I am very satisfied with it . Regarding aerodinamics, my bike has a half fairing (Yamaha Fz8 Fazer) but I didn´t notice any buffeting at all.Jan 8, 2014

A shopper asked:hi, im in the market for a new helmet and seriously considering the gt air and i know my head shape is perfectly fitted for a small Shoei Qwest Overt Helmet, is this size and shape transferable to the gt air or am i better off staying with what i know? as i tried the rf 1100 and the fit just wasn't as right as the qwestOct 13, 2013

Christopher P:I own both the RF1100 and the GT-AIR. The GT-AIR is not as deep as the RF1100 and, on my head, brings the front the helmet closer to my mouth. While I am unsure of the Quest, I can compare the GT-AIR to fitting close to an Arai helmet as in overall size and fit. Hope this helps!Oct 13, 2013

joseph W:I had the rf1100 before the gt air. The gt air fits the same as the rf1100 but a little firmer everywhere. So if the rf1100 didn't fit well you will probably have the same issues with the gt air.Oct 13, 2013

David L:I don't think that you'll like the GT-air as much as another qwest. When I try on the Qwests, they feel a little taller inside with less of a slope back in the forehead area than the GT-air.Oct 14, 2013

A shopper asked:The RF-1100 XL is the most comfortable and snug fit for me, but the GT Air has interesting features. I was just wondering in terms of head shape and cheek pads if the GT Air's spacing is similar to the RF-1100. Thanks!Jan 19, 2013

Adam S:i have a RF1100 (large) currently how is the GT air size fit, i heard that if your a large you have to get an xl for the gt air becuase large is too snug, is that true? the only thing that bothers me on the gt air is that the external tinted visor is not availableSep 19, 2013

SpeedTripleHooligan:I tried the Qwest, the RF 1100 and the GT. I felt that the GT fit better than the rest, most notable around the temple area. It may be due to the build for the visor. It was minimal but noticable. I think in science they would call that statistically significant!Apr 30, 2013

VFRK30:I have a RF-1100 currently, in XL. I tried on a GT-Air at a local shop and the XL fit was the same. A little snugger but that is to be expected as my helmet is pretty well broken in.Mar 15, 2013

Patrick E:Absolutely. I have been using my sena SMH-10R with maximum comfort. I have had comms on an Arai Signet Q and sometimes the internal speakers would get loose and dig into my ear. I have no such issue with the GT Air. I don't even notice it is there. May 24, 2015

JOHN D:I ride comfortably with standard in ear headphones. I have never rode with a bluetooth device. I also don't recommend it, phone+bike is a little much even for me, and I'm not exactly one who follows rules. May 24, 2015

Jeffrey M:I have the Sena SMH10R mounted in my GT-Air. There's enough room, but it takes a while to get the wires situated beneath the padding so you don't feel them while wearing the helmet. If you take the time and don't just jam everything in, it's fine.May 24, 2015

Will M asked:So I bought a M and it has arrived. Feels VERY tight compared to my 2-year-old HJC. I wore it for 25 minutes and never got a headache so maybe it's the right size? I measured my forehead again and with the tape pulled tightly across my widest part i'm coming in at 23" exctly.

M = 22 1/2 - 22 7/8L = 23 1/4 - 23 5/8

I'm between the two sizes, closer to M.

I guess my question is while I didn't get a headache, I did feel a little 'dizzy' perhaps, making me think I might be cutting off some blood flow to my brain : - )

I know they are supposed to 'break in' after a while but my fear is I'll decide it's just too tight and I won't have enough time to return it in the 30 days.

Does anyone else have a 23" noggin and if so what size did you get?Mar 26, 2014

Hien T:Hi there. Unfortunately, my head size is NOT 23". My head size is actually 21 3/4". I still bought size Medium since this helmet is considered to run small. However, after 4 months of using it, it did break in, but not much. The break in period gave another 1/8 to 3/4" in wiggle room but the helmet still fits in my head very well.

I know this might not be the answer you're looking for but look at it this way. At $600, that's a lot of money to "wait and see" if you'll get that 1/8 - 3/4" to get to your size of 23". I know this is a lovely helmet and I would have a hard time letting it go if I were in your position (I'd be tempted to take the chance too, believe me!). I'd look a one size up or maybe looking a different brand (I know, it's easy for me to say since mine fits). But seriously, it IS $600 and it IS your blood circulation we're talking about here. I really hope this helps you in any way and good luck to you.Apr 4, 2014

Gary A:I bought a Shoei GT Air Journey in XL and I also had a HJC (Joe Rocket-101 Carbon) in XL size. At first the GT Air was very tight (tighter than the 101) but amazingly a simple hair cut made the problem go away. After 3 months of frequent use it is now "perfect" fit.May 9, 2014

Todd B:I have a 23" head and that will definitely not fit a large let alone a medium. I tried on a GT Air XL and it was fairly tight to the point where the cheek pads were pushing fairly tightly on my face. Otherwise it felt comfortable.Mar 31, 2015

adil k asked:Is the Shoei GT Air Journey helmet available in Matt red and black graphics or gloss ? as there seems to be no indication with regards to the same although the picture seems to look like a Matt. Also awaiting your shipping quote. Please keep in mind size required is XS.

Jeffrey J:I'm a customer of Revzilla, I purchased this helmet last year. The GT Air Journey has a gloss shine.

If your looking for a matt finish look at the GT Air Wanderer version. I provided a link below.

I personally like the gloss (journey) version better, I think it will hold up better. To me the Matt version seems like it would be easier to see the scratches from everyday use. I have scratched mine up a few times and the scratches aren't that noticeable.

Joshua B:The GT Air is gloss. I have the red and black and it is a very good looking helmet. There is a lot of small detail on the helmet that you can't see in the pictures. I am very pleased with the GT Air.Feb 18, 2014

A shopper asked:Hope this isn't a "dumb" question but what are differences between the new Shoei GT-Air vs GT-Air Journey other than the graphics? Or maybe that is the only difference. Thanks.Jan 14, 2013

Daniel C:The only difference I could see between the Air Journey and the Air Wanderer is the graphics. The GT Air is just solid colors, while the Journey and Wanderer have more options color-wise.May 9, 2013

Daniel C:I bought the GT Air Journey helmet in March, and couldn't be happier with it. It is just pure quality throughout. Fits well, great features, and truly a work of art. I bought the Red/Black one, and it matches my bike perfectly. Nice that the Pinlock Fog Free lens is included with it, I love the TopGun inner shade, and the way air flows through the helmet. I tried on a Scorpion EXO-1100 at the Revzilla showroom, but just didn't like it as much as Shoei. I'm not implying the Scorpion isn't a good helmet, but I am definitely happy with the Air Journey.May 9, 2013

MyNamenick:I rode with a Scorp EXO-1100 for a few months last season. I've ridden with Shoei RF-1000's for a few years but wanted the integrated sun shield. After a month or two I went back to the RF-1000. I didn't like the fit of the EXO-1100, it was never quite comfortable. Particularly in the forehead area. It seemed to rub and the cloth at the transition area in the forehead to the visor opening was rough. The Shoei fits my head properly where the Scorp seemed to press front to back.May 20, 2013

RevZilla:Compared to the Neotec, the GT Air is almost as quiet, but it is much quieter than the RF-1100. The chin curtain on the Neotec is able to come a bit closer to the neck, which is what helps to make it quieter. For a full-face touring helmet, the GT Air is a direct comparison to the Schuberth S2.Jan 16, 2013

Thomas J:I can't tell you about the Arai or AGV as I have never owned any of them. As to the Shoei GT Air, I really like it. It is comfortable, fairly quiet (I still use earplugs). The most useful feature for me that I like is the internal flip down sun visor. I use it all the time. It is extremely useful for me as I can easily flip the sun visor (while riding) up or down or partially up/down during sunrise and sunset rides. I can feel a difference too on the airflow over the helmet compared to my older Shoe RF- 700. The GT Air does not seem to get buffeted around near as much in strong crosswinds, and I can actually feel a slight stable downward pressure I guess form the helmet shape and from the little spoiler like lip on the back of the helmet.Aug 21, 2013

Rick H:I really like the helmet. I bought it for the name and the fact it matched my bike lol. After several rides its pretty quiet, has good airflow characteristics, and feels pretty light on my head. The only drawback might be the cheek pads are very snug, not uncomfortable but very snug. I did try several pads before ordering but not a lot of middle ground. The helmet looks great, feels great, and I am very satisfied with my order, Revzilla also got it to me super quick and at a great price thumbs up to both Shoei and Revzilla.Sep 29, 2013

William G:I would say it is a tie between the Arai Corsair V and the Shoei GT Air depending on what fits you better. My head fits both acceptably well and I use them interchangeably. I like the very compact feel of the Arai's smaller shell. On the other hand, the Shoei is the most versatile helmet I have ever owned; the internal tinted shield is terrific when my ride covers sunrise or sundown; no stopping to change shields! If I had to pick one, I would choose the Arai for its lighter and smaller feel.Aug 21, 2013

Emiliano R:Cant speak about the others but the GT air juourney is a great helmet. The looks are fantastic. Material quality are awesome, what you can expect from shoei. Could be a little bit less noisy, but is not that bad unless you plan doing long trips (2hs>). The weight is very appropriate and gentle on the neck. The sun visor worka great and is very accesible with gloves. Has carves out space for intercomm headphones which is great.

Brittany T:Once you get into the upper price range in helmets, I feel you can't really make a mistake. I personally went with the GT Air for the airflow weight and the internal visor. I absolutely love it. It's a pretty quiet helmet but not the quietest. It exceeded my expectations for a helmet and the included pinlock is a must have. Let me know if you want any more detailed infor on the gt air. Aug 21, 2013

ANDY K:Hi, I used Shoei GT Air. Love the shape and aerodynamic. Can feel the air flow in thru air vent. Make my choice after watch the video. There are plus and minus of each model but you may understand more once you run thru the video review. Very helpful.

Thomas R:I recently just got the Shoei GT Air and I love it. The weight, the air flow, the flip down sun visor, and the field of view are all perfect. I haven't tried the others you mentioned, but you can't go wrong with the Shoei.Aug 21, 2013

I can't say nothing about the arai or the agv but the Shoei is really comfortable and also the air that enter through the helmet is real good. I'm so happy with my Gt-air and i recommend you Shoei Aug 23, 2013

Brent B:Had many lids over the years and will say the Shoei GT Air is the finest I've ever owned. Really like the built in sun visor and the optical clarity is simply unreal.Thumbs up and you should buy it....Aug 21, 2013
